Good News

Elizabeth had her bronchoscopy/laryngoscopy yesterday. She was scheduled for 1:00pm but things got backed up in the O.R., so she wasn't taken back for her procedure until 3:15PM. She really didn't mind. She said that she heard that Dr. Cotton's first patient that morning developed complications and surgery took longer than expected. She said "I don't mind because remember when I was 10 and my big surgery took 2 hours longer than expected? I probably caused other people to wait and wait on that day"
Anyway, she did have some granulation tissue in her airway that Dr. Cotton removed. He said her airway is measuring a 6.5 which is a normal adult female airway size. Woohoo! He wants her to try to do anything she wants and get back to playing basketball. She needs to go back to Cincinnati in early December for another Bronchoscopy/laryngoscopy just to make sure the granulation tissue is not growing, etc.

We are still working with her pediatrician and pulmonologist for her terrible migraines and the right side chest pain. Hopefully we will get good results soon.

I will add photos later.
